Re: xserver shutdown problem
I have repartitioned the drive.
300M Root sda5
40M Swap sda6
500M Usr sda7
reinstall and still xserver crashed after I install gnome, vram is good
with 256 color, one thing I notice is that FBDev says
FBDev: Server for frame buffer device
(Patchlevel 11): mfb, iplan2p2, iplan2p4, iplan2p8, ilbm, afb, cfb8,
cfb16, cfb32
(**) FBDev: Using default frame buffer vide
(--) FBDev: Video Memory: 480k @ 0xf9001000
(--) FBDev: MMIO regs: OK @ (nil)
(--) FBDev: Type 0 type_aux 0 bit_per_pixel 8
(--) FBDev: Hardware accelarator: None
(--) FBDev: No driver support for hardware acceleration
bpp=8, depth=8, BitPerRGB=8
(--) FBDev: Using cfb8 driver
waiting for X server to shutdown down.
hope this will determine where problem is.

Well, you should have read the partitioning instructions in the
installation
texts. Personally, I would have put the HFS partition first and then
followed
with the Linux partitions in the following order: root sda4, swap sda5,
usr
sda6. Usually you want to make your swap disk about twice the size of
your
physical memory. But with 72MB RAM, Iwouldn't worry about it. The
installation
texts say that you should put the swap file after your root partition
and before
your usr partition.
72M of physical ram
512k internal Vram
I think you should try running X in 16 colors of 4 bit color depth.
Modify the
/etc/X11/XF86Config file to make the default color depth 4. I don't
think you
can run 8 bit color with 512K VRAM. Maybe I'm wrong. if you can get 256
colors
in the MacOS, you should be able to get 256 colors with Linux: the
default color
depth would be 8.
Thanks in advance
